Character Asks

Clementine Character Ask 4

So, like I’ve mentioned before, I tend to view Clementine as more a character for lesbian/yuri content. I admit I don’t know her that well, having not played the games, but that’s just what feels right to me after watching some cutscenes and stuff for research when I’ve drawn her in the past. Like she hints here, though, I do have another “Clem x Anon” pic in the works, though I have no idea if or when that’ll actually come out.

Goku and Luffy Character Ask 1

I had a bit of trouble with this Ask, not just because of Naruto’s presence (I’ll get into why he’s there in a bit), but also because I’ve had some recent troubles that have soured my opinion on Luffy. I had a lot of emotional difficulty getting through this, but I’d already settled on the idea and wanted to get it out.
So I knew the visual I wanted for this one almost immediately. Goku and Luffy double teaming a boy from some other series was obvious, and Naruto seemed fitting. On top of my continuing effort to ease my way back into being able to draw characters from his series comfortably, I think he’s appropriate in a sort of Jump Force reunion sort of way. Hopefully fans of these series (or even one or two of these series) will enjoy seeing these three main characters paired up like this. The difficult part was figuring out what I’d have them say, since there’s not much to talk about here…. hence them basically saying nothing. Oops.

Dark Magician Girl Character Ask 2

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but when I get Asks specifically referencing the Studio I tend to try and use them for a crossover pic (mostly ’cause I assume that’s why the asker would mention the studio in the first place). I went with Ryuko here for a few different reasons. One being this person has done Asks with her before, so I assume he’d like to see her again. Also, Ryuko’s one of the characters I identify more on the yuri side of the spectrum, plus she could probably relate to DMG’s situation for not getting selected for a lot of work in the Studio. Clementine was a close runner-up for this position, since she meets those same criteria, but I decided to keep it anime-on-anime this time around.
As for DMG’s actual answer, she’s not wrong. I never think to use her for anything, so she never gets drawn. Also, I find her design a bit trying to work with, so there’s that. This Ask took longer than most to draw, despite being relatively simple in posing, mostly due to her design. ^_^;

Lucien Vinson Character Ask 1

So Lucien has appeared twice, once in a “canon” pic, and once in a commissioned pic. Between the two, I feel like the relationship between Lucien and Loren is portrayed a bit differently, hence Lucien’s bit of waffling early in his response. Like Lucien says here, though, I do think I’d like to show the fallout of his first appearance in a full Applebridge Snapshot comic at some point.

Vegeta Character Ask 1

So I’ve gotten this question a few times, but never gotten around to it for one reason or another (I also believe multiple different supporters have asked it, though I can’t be certain on that). The original version was phrased something like, “Vegeta, after seeing how well Goku’s training paid off for Gohan, have you tried the same thing with Trunks?” My problem was I really couldn’t justify Vegeta knowing about how Goku and Gohan trained in “Special Training”. It just didn’t seem like info he would have. I was finally ready to just answer this and get it over with by having Vegeta express this confusion, but then it hit me that it’d be funnier (and also more satisfying) if he didn’t know Goku’s training, but also just happened to be in the middle of that same training with Trunks anyway. I can’t be certain if this supporter was hoping for kid Trunks or future Trunks, but I went with the kid here because I’d already planned to draw these two together eventually anyway. I’m still not 100% certain how I want to handle Vegeta and future Trunks’ relationship, and would rather leave that in the hands of Goku’s imagination for the time being.

Velma Dinkley Character Ask 2

So originally this Ask was going to be just Velma showing off her butt, without the mention of Daphne. While I was working on it, though, I decided it’d be a lot more fun to return to Velma’s roots (as far as my work is concerned) and bring Daphne in to show off her love of Velma’s ass. I tweaked my designs for these characters slightly here, trying to take in some elements from their different incarnations that I like. No major changes or anything, but thought I should acknowledge that the way I draw these two is still evolving.
